Wolfgang Stojetz

Wolfgang Stojetz is a Fulbright Scholar and OCV Postgraduate Fellow at Yale University. He is also a Research Affiliate at the International Security and Development Center (ISDC) and a Ph.D. candidate in Economics in the Berlin Doctoral Program in Economics and Management Science (BDPEMS).

Wolfgang’s primary research interests are the micro-mechanisms interlinking armed conflict, socio-political identity and economic development. His dissertation studies military service in civil war and its long-term ramifications for integration in the post-war economy, society and household. It draws on ten months of fieldwork conducted in Southern Angola and makes use of novel quantitative survey data at the household, soldier and spouse levels.

Wolfgang studied physics, mathematics and economics at the University of Colorado (Boulder), the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal, and the University of Regensburg, Germany, and holds a Diplom in Physics from the University of Regensburg (equivalent to M.Sc., summa cum laude). He has held grants from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), the Portuguese Research Council (FCT), the German Physical Society (DPG), Humboldt-University of Berlin, and BDPEMS, and has served as a short-term consultant to the World Bank.
